DOG IN NEED: CHARLOTTE

Let’s begin this week by doing our best to help save a life. This is Charlotte, an adorable little girl who was given up by her owner because she apparently ‘took up too much time.’ Full of affection and happiness, Charlotte is patiently waiting for her forever home. Please take a moment to share this link with her story and help her find a loving family.
 
STORY: Charlotte was surrendered to a Quebec shelter because her owner didn’t have time for her — whatever that means. Due to her age, the shelter felt she would do best in a rescue, so she came to Hopeful Hearts only days later.

FAVE SNACK: Chicken! Charlotte opens her mouth like a baby bird waiting for a worm from its mother whenever there is chicken being doled out!

FAVE GAME: Is sleeping a game? Wait – do mind games count? We play “chase Charlotte” when it’s time to go out for a pee – she’d rather eat first and pee later, but those are not the rules. She runs to her dog bed, where I “catch” her, pick her up and bring her outside. After a pee she bee-lines back into the kitchen looking for food!

BIGGEST FEAR: Charlotte has not demonstrated fear in many situations, but she definitely is not comfortable around big playful dogs at the dog park who might step on her!

FUNNIEST QUIRK:
Scratch her back just above her tail and she gets her tongue going – it’s full body action as she enjoys a good scratching!

CATCH PHRASE: Food? No seriously — food?

#PAWSHPLANS WRITING HOLIDAY CARDS

Although Pawsh will not be covering Christmas related content until December 1st (here’s why), an exception will be made for holiday cards. Why? Because telling people nice things in a cute card is a lovely gesture — one that all too often is overlooked amidst the hustle and bustle of shopping, baking, decorating and gift wrapping.

Writing a truly meaningful card takes time and thought, as well as scheduling with the postal system. So to be sure that our holiday cards will be sent out on time this year — and in keeping with our November #Pawshplans — Rory and I are getting a head start! Of course, now the only challenge remaining is choosing which cards to send! Above are a few adorable options. Which is your favourite?

Don’t forget to share your photos with us on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #Pawshplans when you settle down to write your holiday cards! Here is my photo! I would love to see yours!

ADJUSTABLE COLLAR ID TAG

Remember these stunning engraved buckle collars? Well if you love that look but aren’t prepared to do away with you dog’s present collar here is another delightful option! Adjustable collar tags, available through Domestic Beast, allow owners to engrave all of their pets’ important information and then slip it onto their collar! No fuss at all and the chances of losing the tag is reduced! Isn’t that clever?

PS: Another clever tag loved by Pawsh and a funny one too!
